The SRS system is controlled by the SRS-ECU. The
SRS-ECU judges how severe a collision is by detect-
ing signals from the left and right side impact sen-
sors, front impact sensors, front air bag analog G-
sensor, front air bag safing G-sensor and side-airbag
safing G-sensor. If the impact is over a predeter-
mined level, the SRS-ECU outputs an ignition signal.
At this time, if the safing G-sensor is on, the SRS air
bag will inflate. The SRS warning light in the combi-
nation meter alerts a malfunction of the SRS system.
If the following symptoms occur even when the vehi-
cle has not been in a collision, there may be a mal-
function in the SRS system.

• The SRS warning light does not go off within

approximately seven seconds after the ignition
switch has been turned to the "ON" position.

• The SRS warning light does not illuminate when

the ignition switch is turned to the "ON" position.

Refer to the After-collision Diagnosis (Refer to

P.52Ba-22

.) when inspecting and servicing the vehi-

cle that has been in a collision.

TROUBLESHOOTING STRATEGY

M1524003100289

Use these steps to plan your diagnostic strategy. If
you follow them carefully, you will be sure that you
have exhausted all of the possible ways to find a
SRS fault.
1. Gather information about the problem from the

customer.

2. Verify that the condition described by the

customer exists.

3. Check the vehicle for any SRS diagnostic trouble

codes (SRS DTC).

4. If you cannot verify the condition but there are no

SRS DTCs, the malfunction is intermittent. Refer
to GROUP 00, How to use Troubleshooting

−

Inspection Service Points

− How to Cope With

Intermittent Malfunctions

P.00-13

5. If there is a SRS DTC, record the code number,

then erase the code from vehicle memory using
scan tool MB991502.

6. Recreate the SRS DTC set conditions to see if the

same SRS DTC will set again.

• If the same SRS DTC sets again, follow the

Inspection Chart for DTC and find the fault.

• If you cannot get the same SRS DTC to set

again, the malfunction is intermittent. Refer to
GROUP 00, How to use Troubleshooting

SRS WARNING LIGHT CHECK

M1524004300145

1. Check that the SRS warning light illuminates when the

ignition switch is in the "ON" position.

2. Check that it illuminates for approximately seven seconds

and then goes out.

3. If not, check for DTC.
